✦ Synopsis

Variation of peroxidase enzymes is analyzed both in mature needle tissue and in open-pollinated seedling families of ponderosa pine, Pinus ponderosa, and is identified as being controlled by a single Mendelian locus. Variation at this locus, analyzed in 1, 386 individuals, is used in the analysis of population differentiation and the mating system. Significant variation of gene frequencies is detected over distances of several hundred meters, and is found to be associated with slopes of different aspects. Ponderosa pine is wind-pollinated, and an analysis of the mating system indicates that the level of outcrossing is greater than 90 %. Selection specific for different environments is evidently strong enough to overcome the homogenizing force of migration and produce population fissuring in ponderosa pine.

Oxygen interaction of CdS-based gas sens

Oxygen interaction of CdS-based gas sensors with different stoichiometric compositions was studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and thermal-desorption mass spectroscopy observations combined with conductivity measurements. Three different types of film with different atomic ratios of Cd/S were used in the study of oxygen chemisorption in a low-temperature range between 300 and 570 K. Spray pyrolysis was used for the deposition of the films on glass substrates; XPS and energy dispersive spectroscopy of X-ray together with atomic force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy were used for the characterization of the composition and structure of the films. It was possible to distinguish different temperature ranges for the thermal desorption of the different adsorbed oxygen species. A comparison of the data from XPS and mass-spectroscopy observations with conductance measurements allows to conclude that metallic surface atoms are responsible for different interactions of oxygen species with CdS surfaces.
